SKYCITY Auckland Convention Centre: only 3 minutes away! (650 feet by foot)

Very close to Intercity bus terminal, plenty of eateries as well as a huge Countdown nearby. AC sockets at each bed. The bed was really comfortable and they seem to care about cleanliness in the shower.

Love the big shower rooms and kitchens! Friendly staff, amazing location right next to the sky tower & sky city with easy connection to the sky bus!!! Can’t complain. Very cool AC too which is much needed in a summer like this. Lots of eateries around with big supermarkets.

It’s location is amazing, right in the city center and only a short walk to anywhere you need to be. All the staff and other guests staying there were so welcoming and friendly, it really felt like a home away from home.

I was able to book this hostel last minute, and was pleasantly surprised with the low price. The bathrooms and showers were clean (which is always a good sign), the beds were relatively comfortable, and the pillows weren’t too bad, either. I also appreciated that they put charger stations in each bed, and that the WiFi worked well. The kitchen was decent and had multiple stoves to cook on. They actually had two kitchens - a bigger one and a smaller one, which was nice. The location is also great as it is just a few minute walk to the bus stop at sky city, and a short walk to countdown and other local restaurants and bars. Finally, I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful.

The kitchen was in a mess. There were packets of open food everywhere.
Great for those looking for a rest stop before heading out of the city. It's right next to the bus terminal too. Toilets were clean and the beds were comfortable.

The "have a free earplug if you can't bear loud environment, because we don't want to stop people screaming histerically in the kitchen at 1 am" is a bit disturbing.

There was a definite smell in our room that didn't go away that was only masked when the air con was on. Was in the room while they "deep cleaned" and nothing was really cleaned all that well minus a quick vacuum and window clean. Lots of longterm stays so if you got put in their room, they had stuff EVERYWHERE meaning there was very little room for your stuff.
Comfy beds, large kitchen, close to CBD without being on main st, bathrooms were very clean, will give you proof of address to open a bank account if you book for 4 nights!

Over the past few years the place has degraded seriously, many things are broken or missing none of the mens toilets were functional and have been down for weeks! It also seems the kitchen is disorder nized write me as useful as in past not even a coffee maker and the refrigerators are jam-packed appearing with they have not been sorted in cleared in quite a while
It's very close to the bus terminal and we have stayed there in the past it was quite reasonable place to stay

Noisy, especially if you are close to the kitchen. No aircon in the bedroom and you can't open the windows, so it was always smelling bad. Only way to get some fresh air was to leave the bedroom's door opened. But then you'd also have the smell from the kitchen and more noise... Also men's showers were closed (for how much time I don't know). Which means only 2 unisex showers available for men :(
Well equipped kitchen. Great location. Relatively new facilities. Good isolation from street's noise. Super WiFi
